English Express

Our award-winning social enterprise

English Express is a not-for-profit English Language programme operated as a social enterprise of Real Action.

The proceeds from the English Express programme go towards helping the charityrun literacy classes and other helpful programmes for children and needy families in the community. We started our charitable work in 1997, and have been serving London’s people ever since.

For over 13 years we have been teaching English using the very fastCallan Method. People around the world have been learning English using this method for over 50 years.

Our school

English Express is based at the Learning Store on Mozart Street, famous for its book-filled reception, its secret garden, and its close community of students and teachers. Our students always recommend us to their friends. We truly care about our students, and we will quickly become their new family in London! We aren’t a large school, so this means that we are able to give our students personal attention. We have classes from 8:00 am until 10:20 pm, so they will easily find a class at their level which is also at the right time for them.

Our students get impressive results. Their command of English develops, dramatically: they go from zero to Intermediate Level, we find, in just twenty weeks of our two-hour daily, pacey, classes.This is the norm.

Our classrooms

Our classrooms are large, well-furnished and comfortable. One of our classrooms is a warm wooden cabin in our garden, and is probably the most popular classroom with our students.

Our students

Our students are from Spain, Brazil, Italy, Colombia, Turkey, Syria, Slovakia, Greece, Iran, Japan, France, Poland, Algeria, Romania... In fact, they’re from all over the world. They will be able to spend time talking with their English-speaking teachers as well as their fellow students - who are also here to learn English, just like them. Our students really feel like part of a family. When they arrive in London, they might feel lonely, but with us they will soon find friends and become part of our English Express community!
